I18N_Manager is concerned with getting them in, and you then use the standard gettext function to get them out again, e.g. I18N_Manager::addString("Hello world."); I18N_Manager::addString("Hello world.", 'de', "Hallo Welt."); echo _("Hello, world."); This seemed to be the case when I looked at Translation1 as well. I had to spend some time with the code figuring out how the database needed to be laid out in order to work. Are you interested in integrating this kind of functionality into Translation2? > You may want to have a look at I18Nv2::setLocale() for a more distinct and > cross-platform approach to the setlocale() problem.

I had not looked at either Translation2 or I18Nv2, as I was under the mistaken impression that they were PHP5-only packages. You are correct, my functionality is superfluous. > Please note, that there's a typo in the first two lines of ::compile(). > Fixed.
